Reborn Troops

Zhou Wanwan stood at the door of her jewelry store, looking at the people coming and going on the street. Today, her mood was particularly complicated because she had just received a special order from Mr. Hu Lei.

"Wanwan, you look like you're worried about something." Qianqian, Zhou Wanwan's best friend, walked into the store with a cup of coffee in her hand.

"Qianqian, you came just in time." Zhou Wanwan sighed, "Mr. Hu Lei just placed an order and asked me to design a crystal lamp in the shape of a moon."

Qianqian raised an eyebrow. "A moon-shaped crystal chandelier? That sounds very challenging."

"Yes," Zhou Wanwan smiled bitterly, "I have been thinking about what kind of crystal to use. Ordinary white crystal may not be gorgeous enough, but if the crystal is too complicated, I am worried that the craftsmanship will not be able to keep up."

Qianqian took a sip of coffee and thought for a moment, "Wanwan, have you ever considered using amethyst? Amethyst has a sense of mystery and can reflect a soft light like moonlight."

Zhou Wanwan's eyes lit up. "Amethyst? That's a good idea. However, amethyst is not cheap."

"Since Mr. Hu Lei is willing to pay a high price for customization, he certainly won't care about this cost."

Qian Qian smiled and said, "Besides, the mystery of amethyst fits in well with the symbolism of the moon."

Zhou Wanwan nodded. "You're right. I'll contact the supplier and see if I can find the right amethyst."

A few days later, Zhou Wanwan finally found a batch of high-quality amethyst.

She began to design the drawings of the crystal chandelier, striving for perfection in every detail.

However, just when she was about to complete the design, an unexpected news broke her peace.

"Wanwan, something bad has happened!" Qianqian rushed into the store, "I just heard that Mr. Hu Lei's order was taken away by another store!"

Zhou Wanwan was stunned, "What? How could this happen?"

"I heard that the designer of that store has some connections with Mr. Hu Lei, so he sent the design drawings directly to him."

Qianqian explained, "After Mr. Hu Lei took a look, he felt that their design better met his requirements."

Zhou Wanwan felt a little disappointed, but she quickly cheered up, "It's okay, Qianqian. We have other customers, and I believe our design is the best."

Qianqian nodded, "You're right. But we can't just give up like this. Maybe we can try again?"

Zhou Wanwan thought for a moment and said, "You are right. I will call Mr. Hu Lei and see if I can get another chance."

After the call was connected, Zhou Wanwan tried to remain calm, "Mr. Hu Lei, this is Zhou Wanwan. Regarding your crystal lamp order, I have some new ideas I want to share with you."

Mr. Hu Lei was silent for a while, "I have decided to cooperate with another store."

"I understand," Zhou Wanwan said, "but I believe my design will better meet your requirements. If you are willing to give me a chance, I can make a sample for you for free."

Mr. Hu Lei seemed a little shaken. "Free samples?"

"Yes," Zhou Wanwan said firmly, "I believe you will be satisfied."

After some consideration, Mr. Hu Lei finally agreed to Zhou Wanwan's proposal.

Zhou Wanwan immediately started making samples, striving for perfection in every detail.

She knew that this was not only an order, but also a proof of her design ability.

Zhou Wanwan sat at the table in the studio, holding a pencil in her hand, her eyes wandering over the design drawings.

She was feeling both nervous and excited, because this design not only affected the success or failure of the order, but also her confidence in her own design ability.

"Wanwan, you look very focused." A low and gentle voice came from the door.

Zhou Wanwan looked up and saw that it was Master Zhongshan, an internationally renowned jewelry designer and Zhou Wanwan's mentor.

Master Sun Yat-sen’s visit was a surprise to her, but more of a delight.

"Master, why are you here?" Zhou Wanwan stood up and walked forward.

Master Zhongshan walked into the studio with a smile and looked around, “I heard that you had some difficulties, so I came to see.”

Zhou Wanwan sighed, "Yes, Master. Mr. Hu Lei's order was taken away by another store, but I'm still trying to get it."

Master Zhongshan nodded and said, "I have seen your design drawings. They are very creative. However, I noticed that you were a little hesitant in handling the details."

Zhou Wanwan looked down at the drawing and said, "Yes, I am thinking about how to make the light of amethyst softer while still retaining its gorgeousness."

Master Zhongshan walked to the table, picked up a pencil, and lightly sketched a few strokes on the drawing. "Look, you can add some fine silver threads here. This will not only add a sense of layering, but also make the light softer."

Zhou Wanwan's eyes lit up, "Master, you are right! Why didn't I think of it?"
